## Summary

Homes in Somerset commissioned fire risk appraisal of external walls, including external wall fire risk assessments and site inspections. The work is fire safety consultancy, intended to assess risks associated with building façades. The activity relates to a single lot and is to be delivered in Somerset. Homes in Somerset is the buying organisation. The procurement was carried out through the Property Frameworks framework, for consultancy work required urgently. The scope combines assessment and on-site inspection, so the requirement covers both professional fire-risk evaluation and site-based work.

The procurement is complete and a supplier was selected: Firntec Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 1 August 2026, at a value of £187,220. The award was made through a direct award under the Property Frameworks framework, without a prior competition, because the framework permitted this route and the work was required urgently. The stated award basis was price. One bid was recorded. The tender data marks the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the process outcome identifies Firntec as the awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes in Somerset for external wall fire-risk appraisal supported by site inspections, procured through the Property Frameworks framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide fire safety consultancy capable of assessing external wall risks and carrying out inspections at relevant sites in Somerset. The direct award was justified by urgency and the framework’s terms, so framework access and the ability to mobilise promptly are relevant commercial considerations. Price was the stated basis for the award, and one bid was recorded. The selected supplier was Firntec Limited. The requirement is specifically for external wall fire risk assessment and inspection, rather than general fire safety or unrelated building consultancy.
